Need paint advice for your small bathroom? You’re in the right place.


We stock thousands of colours across a wide range of designer and trade finishes, many of which are ideal for bathrooms. These include high-humidity and anti-mould options that are durable, washable, and won’t compromise your colour or finish. And if you’ve got a designer shade in mind, we can colour-match it into a bathroom-specific trade paint so you get the look you love, with the durability your bathroom needs.

1. Chalky Pinks

Opting for a warm earthy pink like Farrow & Ball Sulking Room Pink is a great way to add depth and character to your bathroom without making the space feel smaller. Its muted tones bring warmth while still reflecting enough light to keep the room feeling spacious. This versatile shade also pairs perfectly with neutral or white accents: such as skirtings, tiles, towels, or accessories creating a cohesive and elegant look that feels both modern and inviting.

2. Grey

Picking a grey can be difficult as there are so many undertones to consider, however we recommend choosing a warm, light grey-green tone like Little Greene’s French Grey. This also opens up additional bathroom decor ideas, like introducing some colour drenching which helps to create depth and blend your colour from the wall into your radiator and skirting boards without overwhelming your space. 

 

3. White

Light bathroom paint shades, like classic white, are always a go-to choice for small spaces. They naturally brighten the room by reflecting light, which helps your bathroom feel more open and airy. Opting for white bathroom paint also makes choosing additional bathroom decor at a later date an easier option, for example, introducing tiling or panelling for an added bit of character won’t be a challenge. One of our favourite whites is Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. 

 

4. Greens

If you’re considering a green bathroom paint, we recommend choosing a lighter shade rather than a dark one, as dark greens can make a small bathroom feel more enclosed and dull. A lighter green adds a refreshing, calming touch without overwhelming the space. For a balanced option, we suggest Farrow & Ball Card Room Green - this soft, sophisticated shade brings warmth and character without compromising on brightness for small spaces.
